Researchers at the UAB and the UniZar have identified a human peptide found in the brain that blocks the α-synuclein aggregates involved in Parkinson’s disease…
Scientists at Tampere University and their collaborators have shown how spectroscopic measurements can be made much faster. By correlating polarization to the color of a…
Estimated to be 100–200 kilometers across, the unusual wandering body will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2031. A giant comet from the…
Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered lymph node-like structures close to the tumor in brain cancer patients, where immune cells can be activated to attack…
NASA recently received its first sample of asteroid Ryugu, which was returned to Earth last December by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) Hayabusa2 spacecraft….
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have upgraded their laser frequency-comb instrument to simultaneously measure three airborne greenhouse gases — nitrous…
Two things capture your attention in this spectacular Hubble Picture of the Week, which was taken using Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3): the two…
Australian scientists will help construct one of the world’s most powerful ground-based telescopes that promises to see farther and clearer than the Hubble Space Telescope…
Inadequate exposure to UVB light from the sun may be associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, particularly in older age groups, according to…
Finding the hypothetical particle axion could mean finding out for the first time what happened in the Universe a second after the Big Bang, suggests…
Using a method developed for HIV, scientists have identified stable T cell vaccine targets in SARS-CoV-2. These stable targets, known as highly networked epitopes, are…
Researchers have reconstructed the Eastern Mediterranean silver trade, over a period including the traditional dates of the Trojan War, the founding of Rome, and the…
Why are gold deposits found at all? Gold is famously unreactive, and there seems to be little reason why gold should be concentrated, rather than…
NASA is preparing to establish a regular cadence of trips to the Moon under Artemis. To help the agency fine-tune its approach, NASA will award firm…
A scientific breakthrough: Researchers from Tel Aviv University have engineered the world’s tiniest technology, with a thickness of only two atoms. According to the researchers,…
Platform could also predict COVID-19 case severity and immunity against variants. Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a tablet-sized device that can reliably detect…
The sky isn’t falling, but scientists have found that parts of the upper atmosphere are gradually contracting in response to rising human-made greenhouse gas emissions….
